Two features of Country Inn & Suites brand I like as a consumer.

Reading library: Country Inn hotels feature a lending library where you can pick up a book and drop it off at another property. Or exchange a book you have for one at the hotel.

Real diningware: I find the use of plastic cutlery to be a real waste of resources at midscale hotel breakfast buffet service. Styrofoam cups are a bad sight too for landfill waste.

Country Inn advertises it uses real diningware. Been too long for me, 2014 if I recall correctly, since I last stayed at Country Inn to remember their breakfast service cutlery and cups.

Anyway, 7,000 bonus points can be a $30 to $40 value for many hotel rewards in the category 1 to 3 level.

Category 1 = 9,000 points

Country Inn Ventura, California, in the shade of U.S. Highway 101, is one hotel I have used for road trips between Monterey, California and Los Angeles/SoCal destinations.

April 2-4 $96 per night. Total rate = $215.25 after tax.

This seems like a decent promotion, if you are somewhere needing a 2-night stay and Country Inn is competitively priced.

The main issue is most Country Inn & Suites are in the USA. Hotels in the USA are experiencing record-breaking high rates in 2017. India, Mexico and Central America may offer some better Country Inn rate deals.

I recently completed Club Carlson’s Earn Bigger Rewards promotion for 50,000 bonus points after 8 nights at any Club Carlson brand. My 8 nights in Amsterdam, Prague and Wroclaw cost $470 staying at Radisson Blu (2 nights), Park Plaza (4 nights) and Park Inn hotels (2 nights), where I received room upgrades at each hotel. Europe has some serious hotel bargains right now, although the elimination of Club Carlson 2-for-1 rates is a real blow to the program for stays in Europe, Africa and Middle East.
